Question

Which number line shows all the values of x that make the inequality -3x + 1 < 7 true

Answer 1

After solving the equation (work shown in image) your answer would be x > -2. I drew an image of how the number line should look at least similar to, using the solution.

*whenever you divide or multiply with a negative number reverse/flip the sign

< or > signs will always have an open circle

≥ or ≤ signs will have a closed/filled in circle

TIP: To know which way the arrow should point, look at the sign and think of it as an arrow.

< would have the arrow on the number point

this way: <-

or > which would have the arrow on the number line point this way: ->
